We usually start getting excited for summer activities around Feb. This year was no different. We reserved a cabin through recreation.gov so we could have one last adventure as a family of four. Also, knowing that at this point I would be close to 8 mos. pregnant, I opted for an actual flush toilet and not sleeping on the floor. This cabin was perfect.
(These pics aren't in any order:)
Andrew and I went exploring after Natalia went to sleep Thursday night. There was still plenty of day light that couldn't be wasted! Across the road from us, were a few other cabins, as well as this cool swing and a place to play horse shoes (with 4 that had been left behind- good for us!) Friday morning, I went back to sleep after breakfast, while Andrew took Raja and Natalia to see all of the amazing things we found on our adventure.
It's hard to see in this picture, but there is a tiny waterfall on the other side of the river. Andrew and I decided that because we were most likely the first people to ever have discovered this waterfall, that it was up to us to name it. Andrew decided to call it "Falls of the Hikes".
We avoided the drizzle of the early hours and ate breakfast inside. Oh, did I mention, this is so my type of camping!
Thursday night we had to go inside for s'mores. I know, it's tragic, but we still had fun. We recently found out that Andrew and Natalia are quite the story tellers, so we started what we now call 's'more stories'. One person will begin a story, then pass it off to another person who continues it etc. etc. Most of the stories revolve around going to alien planets or creature power suites (from Wild Kratts on PBS.)
Our sleeping arraignments. I love camping like this!
Our Thursday night cuisine. I was the prep cook, and Raja made it happen!
Raja and Andrew spent some time playing baseball and cricket with this 'bat' Raja found.
Raja performing his 'manly-man' duty of wood splitting!
On the way to the cabin, we noticed this huge rush of water flowing into a very full Boise River. This is near Lucky Peak.
